I KNOW, I KNOW what you´re thinking… Denim shirts are not hip anymore. The thing is that I arrived a little late at the idea of wanting one… and once I started my quest to look for one I took my time to find “the one”. Haha I know it´s a little ridiculous to think that we can idealize a certain garment so much to the point of feeling stupidly excited when finding it. Anyways, I think that one of the most predictable aspects of women´s personalities is the unavoidable consumerism that lives inside of us, like this tiny Godzilla that waits to be fed. Sometimes the cycle lasts longer, sometimes its shorter and it pushes us more frequently. Anyways, back to the point: I found my denim shirt.

When the search started I thought of 3 important characteristics:

COLOR: it couldn´t be washed out denim neither dark blue denim.

BUTTON: I wanted them to be snaps, if pearly even better.

SHAPE: I wanted it to be feminine, therefore slightly waisted.

Considering I’ve been in the states for a while now, I think I can say that I no longer suffer from the Forever 21 fever. I can go to their stores calmly and keep myself together to choose wisely without piling up my arms with every single item I find cute. So, after looking in other stores for my shirt and leaving empty handed, I went to a GINORMOUS forever 21 store to try my luck there. And BINGO! I found one, I tried it on, I liked it, I thought the price was right, I felt that satisfaction similar to a victory, bought it and HERE IT IS! Say hello to my shirt! J

On Monday I went with my boyfriend to Daytona Beach with the illusion that I would sunbathe, read my newest Nylon magazine, play dice, put my feet in the water and let them sink in the wet sand as the water went back and forth… BUT, none of that happened! It was SO COLD… I couldn´t stand being more than 5 minutes out in the cold before running back to the car seeking for shelter and warmth.

Note to self: Remember that in Florida it´s technically winter. And you DON´T go to the beach during winter. Anyway, I hope you like these pictures taken contre vent et marées.

Today i wanted to show an outfit wearing this faux leather skirt. The truth is that it´s a little thick for this weather… I can picture myself wearing it in more interesting ways during winter with different layers, colorful tights and different textures… Anyways, it´s a new skirt and it felt like I had to wear it for the first time! So this is the best I could do for it to match the sunny days here in Orlando.

Actually, despite the fact that this one is faux leather I wanted to feature this type of skirt. Being that its slightly flared I think it’s very flattering for different body types. The flare helps to generate the illusion that the legs are slimmer, which is always good, right? And because it’s high waisted it accentuates the waist creating a very feminine silhouette.

When I use clothes in neutral or basic colors I try to lift the outfit with a pop of color. I thought this blue envelope clutch was the perfect choice for that!

Ok, for today´s post i haven´t got much to tell, so i´m gonna go ahead and do something that fellow blogger Debbie (from DebbieNoEsta check out her blog!) asked of me. All I have to do is tell 7 truths about myself and choose 15 people to do the same (pay it forward! LOL).

Here we go:

I´m terrible when it comes to food. When I was a little girl all I could eat was rice and pasta. I think I’ve gotten a little better now… given that i´ve worked in restaurants. But I’m still very picky. Now, I do have a weak spot for anything sweet!

I NEVER EVER watch horror or scary movies. I think they´re not constructive and highly unpleasant.

When I was a teenager I went through a slight pseudo-punk phase. I´d wear grey pants (the ones that the boys wore)to school, studded belt and punkie pins on my v-neck uniform sweater. I´m still totally smitten on studs and sometimes i´ll play one of my Green Day cds full blast on my car and have my lil´punk re-surface for a while (pure adrenaline!).

I´m going through a stage in life where I can´t go out to the world without make up. I HAVE to wear at least something. The glow on my pictures? Not natural guys! It´s the magic of Mac´s Skinfinish, one of my favorite products!

I´m very optimistic and I believe nothing is impossible. With hard work, effort, faith and persistence you can achieve what you want! Think outside the box.

I have a scar above my mouth that marked me for life. A dog bit me when I was eleven, it was certainly a very unpleasant experience. Thank God I turned out fine and with time the mark slightly faded. Despite what most people think, I still love dogs… i´m only scared of German Shepherds.

Music is one of my great passions. I think it’s amazing all that can be transmitted through sound. I can´t live without it!

I´m a terrible co-driver… i´m very scared of how people drive these days, therefore you could say i´m a very boring driver. I guess that those who invented driving rules would say i´m a very decent driver.
